Kaley Cuoco believed thatChuck Lorrethought the whole sequence was funny, as she said,“Chuck just thought it was so funny. He loved it. I never understood why.”
However,The Big Bang Theoryshowrunner himself was not a big fan of the sequence either. He rather described it as a way to give Penny a moment of small success in her acting career. As per TV Line, Lorre said,
We wanted Penny to have some small success in her from of being a successful actor, but it’s not my favorite episode.
The acclaimed showrunner also admitted that writing scenes where Penny is part of a “bad” show within the show was not their best work.
“Doing a show within a show — writing the ‘bad’ scenes that she’s in an otherwise good show — was not our finest moment,”he said, arguing that the goal of involving the storyline was to portray Penny struggling with her acting career.
